Hi ladies .I woke up today to find myself sneezing and coughing and having a mild fever. Not feeling very well to be honest and am stock at work till late.
I need to make myself a quick soup once I get home and then try to have rest. The problem is that I am a perfectionist when it comes to cooking and the soup that I make needs whole lot of vegetables and long preparation.Not really in the mood for long cooking and standing by the stove.
Can you suggest a quick but tasty soup?? PLEASE

If your feeling ill there is only one soup that will do...... ingredients serves 6 to 8 1 large chicken, about 3 pounds, with giblets( optional) 1 large onion, stuck with 2 cloves 2 carrots, sliced 1 bunch (about 8 ounces) fresh parsley 2 large white turnips, quartered 1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon white pepper method 1. Scald the chicken by pouring boiling water over it inside and out. Put the chicken into a stew pot or Dutch oven. Add water to cover and place pot over high heat. Bring the water to a boil, skimming off the foam as it accumulates. When the water boils, reduce the heat and add the vegetables. Cover the pot and simmer for 3 hours over very low heat. 2. Remove the chicken from the pot and serve it separately or cut it into serving pieces and add it to soup just before serving. 3. Strain the soup, discarding the vegetables. Wipe the surface with a paper towel to soak up excess fat. Or, better still, cool the soup, refrigerate it, and remove the fat which will have solidified on top; then reheat soup.

In a little bit of butter/olive oil, press some garlic and then saute some onion and spinach. Pour some skimmed milk, let it simmer and then puree it. Once pureed, put it back on the stove and add more milk... as thin or thick as u want. Season with salt, pepper and any other herb seasoning u like.

Very roughly chop up whatever veg you have around, (if you are going to the shop then get celery, carrots, onions, and 2 or 3 red, orange or yellow peppers) add a stock cube (I like beef, but chicken or veg is fine), definitely add a couple of garlic cloves, and a tin of toms, boil for 10-15 mins and then blitz. Simple, easy quick and very yum. You can also add some creme fraiche or even cream if you can afford the calories (or just don't care) if you like your soup creamy.

1 portion pumpkin / butternut, 1 stock cube, 1 small onion, 2 large tablespoons low fat/normal philadelphia. Put pumpkin, chopped onion and stock cube in a pot of water and boil until pumpkin is soft. Use hand blender to "gzhish" until smooth (dont empty the cooking water out). Add philadelphia and gzhish again until mixture is creamy looking. Serve with warm bread :) Hope you feel better soon! Note: Can do this with any veg really. Just dont use fat free philadelphia as it doesnt really cream well.
